Deafening Silence - Machine Head

Well she looked right into my eyes

And said to me

The hurt that you try to hide

Is killin' me

I drink a thousand lies

To freeze the past in time

I’ve tried to fill this silence up

But now it’s back again

See the pain in my eyes

See the scars deep inside

My God, I’m down in this hole again

With the laugh for a smile

With the tears that I cry

Keep goin' down this road called life

Called life

Well she says that I’m insecure

I guess she’s right

'Cause just when I think I’m sure

Alone at night

The agonies come back

This pain won’t let me be

I try to fill the silence up

But now it’s back again

See the pain in my eyes

See the scars deep inside

My God, I’m down in this hole again

With the laugh for a smile

With the tears that I cry

Keep goin' down this road called life

Don’t need your sympathy

I just want for this silence

To stop killin' me

It’s deafening

It’s deafening

This silence inside me

It’s deafening

It’s deafening

The silence inside me

The silence inside

I try to fill the silence up

But now it’s back again

It’s empty like a suicide

This pain inside

(Woh, woh, woh)

See the pain in my eyes

See the scars deep inside

My God, I’m down in this hole again

With the laugh for a smile

With the tears that I cry

Keep goin' down this road called life

Don’t need your sympathy

I just want for this silence

To stop killin' me, hey
